I wrote a review a few years ago and it was glowing 5 stars.Sadly after multiple let downs I have to update from a 5 star to a one star review!I called Wednesday to book a table with my daughter and niece. I know they now have a second venue and it has now caused confusion as to where and when you can get food, so I thought simply asking would be straightforward. I was told by the owner that, they don't usually do food that early, but to come down and food will be available. I was impressed and surprised by this answer, but I gave my details and made the booking. When we arrived we found the venue closed! But the owner was ar the other venue across the street so I beckoned him over. I asked what happened to our booking, he replied that he wanted to do it, but it's not busy. I informed him that I do not live in Eastleigh and asked why didn't he call me and simply cancel my booking instead of wasting my time. My daughter and niece were stood there, so he offered us a drink.Who the hell takes 2 children for a drink instead of food? They aren't adults.Ridiculously enough this isn't the first time we've been let down by this venue!Early this year my daughter had an all day event in the area so approx 8-8.30pm I called to see if they were serving food. The same person answered and said to come down. But when we got there, the waitress told us the kitchen was already closed and I quote "He does this all the time!" We had spent 20mins in the venue before we could even be notified that we can't have food. Luckily we were able to get served in another restaurantThe food has always been good, but the organisational skills are a joke. They have bitten off more than they can chew with the 2nd venue. As a result both venues are failing. They need to get help with the management, because it will be a shame to see this business with a huge amount of potential, go under because of incompetent leadershipMy original review (please go back to this)This is my second time visiting this venue and it definitely won't be my last!Firstly the staff are so friendly and family friendly. They always make friendly conversation with my children and make them feel special. They truly make you feel welcome.Secondly the recommendation of the Turkish sauvignon blanc was spot on. I wouldn't typically pick it, but the recommendation came with confidence and I'm so glad. It paired so well with what we was eating. It gave us the full experience.Thirdly the food was like last time lovely. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and owners made us very welcome, a tasty meal listening to solo artist Jon Yale.

We have just had a fabulous evening listening to music and drinking excellent cocktails with a gorgeous and ample sharing board. I can’t recommend enough. Definitely worth the trip out from overpriced Winchester. Gives their artisan restaurants a run for their money

ordered two pizzas to take away, all we could taste was salt! flavourless! The dough was far too salty. Small size too. Not worth the money, do not buy

Fantastic wine bar, great prices with a relaxed atmosphere. The covered garden out the back is a great place to chill with friends.

One of the best places to enjoy food and drink in the town.Atmosphere is cosy, classy and intimate without being formal. The staff are obviously selected based on their personable nature, and the owner spends his time out amongst customers greeting conversing and entertaining.The best place in Eastleigh to spend an evening with friends.

Really enjoyed our evening here - the food was fantastic and atmosphere was great. We loved how the garden was decorated and was all enclosed so great no matter the weather! Certainly will be going back!
